Holy Hell! I got my hands on the last pair in the absolutely amazing red and this is one wicked pair of Fluevogs!

They look insanely narrow and as one with wide wide that scared the hell out of me. I usually wear an 8 and these are a 9...I think they might be closer to an 8.5. Thankfully with a little work I got them on and I think they will break in just fine with a little work. The toes are surprisingly narrow as well, much more than I expected for this style of shoe so I think the larger size in this case works just fine for my wide feet.

I would love to have these in black and white. Also, I'd love to see a version of these with a rounded more blunt type to too.

color me crushed

earworm - nwct

this was to be my very first pair of Fluevogs... disappointed that the red was sold out, but still, thrilled to get these in brown! Until that awkward moment when I literally couldn't fit my toes into the boot. I was full-on Cinderella-step-sistering trying to make it work, but no.
My feet are a very wide 10.5 womens OR a narrower 12. The EU sizes on the side of the box says 42, when I saw that, my heart sank. A good 12 is really more like a 43.5. Oh well oh well. For those considering this shoe - the width does NOT go up with the sizing, and this is really like an A/B width. Sad stuff.

Compliments Galore

Allison - Orange County

Let's put it this way, wore these tonight for a few hours to dinner and got 5 compliments. I think my husband was jealous :-D

OMG they fit my narrow feet

Lorraine Quast - Oakville

I can NEVER buy shoes other than from a place that caters to really narrow feet; five A widths i fact. When I found the Alli Adrian boot I fell in love with it at first site and thought I would try it on knowing it would never fit. WRONG> It was perfect! If they had more in my size I would have bought it in more colours. This is a fabulous boot; fabulous. I love the fact that John's footwear are little sculptures for your feet. My husband is a rabid fan now too. LOVE our Fluevogs.

Wonderful

Krissy - Pennsylvania

I had never heard of Fluevogs before when I came upon the website. As a former shoe department manager, I can appreciate some good kicks. So here I was, admiring all these lovely shoes that I could never afford to own..and BAM. There's these. In red. Love at first sight. I stewed over them for about a week before I finally caved. Out came the Visa. No regrets at all. A very nice person in the New York store advised that I get these in a size 9 (usually an 8.5-9, my feet are not wide at all) and they fit perfectly. I'm a convert.

Love 'em!!!

Yvonne - DC

I do not like the color red, but I just had to have these boots when I saw them. I treated myself by paying full price for these, and am glad I did. They are super comfy (normally size 8-8.5, but bought the last pair in the store ... a 9) and sturdy. A day has not gone by that I have not received a compliment when wearing these. Great with leggings and slacks for a casual or dressy look. ,-)

as cartman says...goddammit. i bought these last year or so and l-o-v-e love them! but i would've killed for red. so it goes...i love these in grey (almost) as much as the red! and yes, i feel badass in 'em too.

Shakespeare in love!

Shannon - Chicago

I hate boots usually so in 12 years of living in Chicago I have trudged through the snow in Mary Janes. This boot is PERFECT: Feminine, beautiful detailing, sexy, and above all comfortable and durable. I have a tendency to ruin shoes quickly with the amount I walk and stand daily, not to mention biking the city and these are durable and adorable. These shoes make me feel the same as everyone has said. Plain and simple BUY them. If you have wide feet or a high instep buy 1/2 size up, the toe box is more narrow than the picture.

great boots, stylish and comfortable

Happy feet - US

These are not the wildest Fluevogs in the collection, but the SIX straps & buckles and all the fine cutout detailing make them stand out among ordinary shoes. I snapped these up in brown on a great sale, and have been happily wearing them as the weather gets cooler. Usually a 9, the 10 in these fits me well. Although it's early days, they seem to be sturdy and well made.

DAVINA - USA

I am over the moon about these shoes!!! I bought these shoes in grey and had read other reviews about them being narrow. I have wide feet and decided to not go up a size to try and make up for that....glad I didn't! These beauties run true to size and the leather is so soft that my wide feet felt right at home! Is it possible to buy shoes that make you feel like a million bucks? Shoes that will make you walk with a swagger? Shoes that can change your attitude? YES!! and these are the shoes! For the record, I am not being dramatic-these shoes really do all of the above.

these boots are bitchin'

christy - new jersey

i got these babies in a size 6 and they fit quite snugly. the leather is very soft and so is the suede tongue. don't wear these with fishnets or with low socks because the dye from the tongue rubs off on your ankles. lesson learned. as most have commented before me, yes the shoe is a bit narrow in the toe box, but nothing a couple weeks worth of wearing can't fix. these boots make me feel like a dirty rock & roller. if i change my clothes i pull off a steampunk/ hipster look. they're great. much pointier than the photo leads you to believe. not quite metrosexual pointy though. i am in love with these boots. ,-)

A High School Dream Realized

Gina - Chicago, IL

I've wanted a pair of Vog boots since high school... Remember Lady Miss Kier? Anyway, this isn't my first pair, but it's my first pair of brand-new boots. I've also wanted a pair of wingtip boots for 20 years, so these were everything I wanted. Had my second kid and decided: I deserve these! :)

I think they're a perfect fit, true to size. My feet are a bit narrow, but not narrow enough to wear shoes in a special width. The leather is SO soft: like you've worn them for years already. The suede insert at the tongue looks like it might be bulky, but isn't. It's super, super soft. I could not be happier with the boots, and I'm so glad I treated myself. You only live once!

perfection

Katherine - Washington DC

We planned my birthday trip to LA to include a visit to the Fluevog store. Spent an hour with the most wonderful woman who indulged our every footwear whim. These were my pick, and I have worn them a lot already with nothing but happy tootsies. I have narrow feet and skinny ankles so most vogs don't work for me. These do, and they are just fabulous. I swagger in them. Yahoo!

Indulge your inner "Scissorhands".

Vicki - Tacoma, WA

I saw these at the Seattle store a month before I bought them (chose the Dankes that day, which I LOVE). I couldn't stop thinking about them, so I called to see if they were available. My size was sold out, but rock star salesman Willy called around and found what I needed in LA. They got to me in three days, and the love affair went into full swing.
Like some of the other owners have stated, they do run a bit narrow. I usually take a 9-9.5, but I needed these in a 10. That said, they feel as amazing as they look. I'll probably need them in brown, too.

awesome, but narrow

Diggy

Gorgeous boots... but they are definitely very narrow in the toebox. I went up a full size, and my pinky toes will still be feeling the pain of breaking these in. They are difficult to put on without a shoehorn... I will probably have to unbuckle the first few next time I try. The toes are pointier than they appear on the website.

These things being said, they are very cool, unique, and well-made boots that I expect will last a long time.

I was extremely impressed with Fluevog's customer service and fast shipping.

: ( I want these

SRB - Washington, DC

....but in fact they are just too narrow. I have a very true fit for the size I wear, but these are too tight to be comfy in the toe box. It's interesting; the heel base is plenty wide, but they don't seem to have built enough width in the actual toe box, and I don't want a size larger, because that would be too long. I am shedding tears of regret, because I think these boots are beautiful...:-(

My favorite pair of shoes EVER!

Lori Reynolds - Woodstock, CT

I bought these boots in black when I traveled to Chicago. I have a shoe obsession and of the over 100 pairs of shoes I own, these are my favorites. They are my first, but not my last pair of Vogs. After a few wears, they have conformed to the shape of my feet and fit like a pair of custom made boots. The leather is soft as butter. I wear them with jeans, dress pants, skirts or whatever! I'm a teacher and on my feet all day and they are a dream to wear. Super comfortable! Customer service at the store was superb. I can't wait to get my next pair!

Love These!

Lily - Boston

I just bought these boots about two weeks ago. I wear them almost every day and I LOVE THEM! They were really comfortable when I first put them on, but after wearing them for two weeks, they are now even more comfortable and broken in. The leather is very supple and conforms to your ankle very easily.

These look so awesome and feel great on my feet. I feel like a million bucks when I wear these. Second pair of 'Vogs and can't wait for more!

Also the Boston store employees were great! I love going in and finding a great pair of shoes, and then still being encouraged to try on as many others as I might be lusting over (since of course there are 10 other shoes I want too...)

I am in love,,,

Rebecca - Asheville, NC

I instantly fell for these boots when I saw them online, and finally decided against selling a kidney for them and just went for it. I got them in brown and they are crazy versatile. They were a little narrow/tight at first, but with every wear they become more and more comfortable--they begin to form to your foot. Not to mention that they are possibly the most beautiful boots, have just enough edgy-ness, and are casual or dressy to wear for any occasion. I adore them and sometimes just wear them around the house to feel awesome! People begin to compliment them based only on the tip peeking from my jeans, until they see the whole package--then they attempt to caress them and a few have tried to steal them when I wasn't looking. Also, the people of Fluevog Boston are my new best friends. I've been a Fluevog-er for about 12 years now and have never looked back on any other shoe. If you can't decide whether or not to go for it, just do--and maybe put up your firstborn for them, that is the extent of their perfection. Thankyou, Fluevog!!

Utterly Fabulous!

S. Dean-Moore - Halifax

I have been waiting for these boots my whole life! I feel funky and lovely and utterly cool when wearing these Fluevogs, so much so that have started making pants that come just high enough to show them off in their full splendour, and knitting wild socks that peak out just above their tops to draw even more attention to them. I have small ankles, long feet and a narrow heel and usually have troubles with fit, but I can cinch these in tight... and for the first time I like my long feet! You could also adjust them easily, so that they can accomodate any width of foot beautifully. I wear them ALL day long (am a teacher and always on my feet), and have yet to have a single uncomfortable moment. Honestly. I am truly in love ,-> Thank you, Monsieur Fluevog!

nice

jlg - Chicago

I got these in blue-gray, and they are just fantastic. I get comments on them all the time. Look great with skinny jeans or with a rolled up cuff. Style is a bit narrow, I went up a full size. If you're feet aren't wide and achy, you can probably get away with just a 1/2 size.

Teoina - Edmonton

I love these booties! I bought the black ones but my first day wearing them I found them tight on one foot! Weird I know. My feet are really narrow and small. I dont know if it was because I did a lot of walking in downtown Vancouver for 5 days but I went back to the Fluevog store and they stretched one boot for me but I still had the same problem so I will wait a few days and leave another review but in any case I just love these boots! :-D
